On the October 28th, 2024 edition of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Football Fix, host Angelo Di Carlo chats with Notre Dame women’s basketball superstar Hannah Hidalgo in our Focus on Faith interview.

Hidalgo burst onto the scene as a freshman, leading the nation in steals while averaging 22.6 points per game and earning All American honors. She’s a preseason pick to be an All American again this year as the Irish have very high hopes for the upcoming season.

After getting Notre Dame to the Sweet 16 last season, Hidalgo was asked in the postgame press conference “what pushes you?” She answered.... Jesus Christ. On one of the biggest stages, Hidalgo went out of her way to put her faith front and center.

Hidalgo has a deep faith that started thanks to her parents but enhanced greatly when she time during the pandemic to dive into the Bible. She’s intentional about prayer as a college student and makes time to pray whenever she can, including before games. She has a special bond with Irish head coach Niele Ivey. The two even go to Church together.

Hannah also discusses the upcoming season and how scary the Irish backcourt could be with Olivia Miles back in the fold.
